Synopsis

The art of Kris Martin (b. Kortrijk, 1997s; lives and works in Ghent) conveys an intense experience of the finitude of life. Time is essential to this artist, whose relentless engagement with mortality and the evanescent qualities of art has defined his rising career. His works, which include installations, sculptures, photographs, drawings, writing, and sound, also inquire into the possibility of spirituality, eternity, religion, and God. Despite their melancholy and romantic aspects, they often also display flashes of skeptical humor. Martin uses found items that always bring their own history with them; or he commissions lavishly produced objects in formats ranging from the very small to the expansive. Opulently designed in collaboration with the artist, this book presents recent works as well as images of earlier works for reference purposes. With essays by Volker Adolphs, Susanne Figner, and Madeleine Schuppli, and a preface by Veit Görner.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Das Werk von Kris Martin (geb. 1972 in Kortrijk, lebt und arbeitet in Gent) vermittelt die intensive Erfahrung der Endlichkeit des Lebens. Die Zeit ist essentiell für den Künstler, dessen unablässige Beschäftigung mit Sterblichkeit und den flüchtigen Eigenschaften der Kunst seine bisherige Laufbahn bestimmt hat. Seine Arbeiten umfassen Installationen, Skulpturen, Fotografien, Zeich- nungen, Schrift und Sound. Darin fragt er auch nach der Möglichkeit von Spiritualität, Ewigkeit, Religion und Gott. Trotz ihrer melancholischen und romantischen Aspekte blitzt in ihnen oft auch skeptischer Humor auf. Martin benutzt gefundene Dinge, die stets ihre eigene Geschichte mitbrin- gen, oder lässt Objekte, deren Formate von ganz klein bis zu raumfüllenden Installationen reichen, aufwendig produzieren. Das vorliegende vom Künstler mitgestaltete opulent ausgestattete Buch zeigt neuere Arbeiten zusammen mit Referenzabbildungen früherer Werke. Mit Beiträgen von Volker Adolphs, Susanne Figner und Madeleine Schuppli sowie einem Vorwort von Veit Görner.
